Momaya Press











Momaya Press has completed the 2nd Annual Momaya Short Story Competition, and Maya and I would like to invite you to attend the prize ceremony. Creative writing and theatre meet at the London Review Bookshop, host of the 2nd Annual Momaya Press Prize Ceremony. The Momaya Press Prize Ceremony will feature dramatic performances of the winning entries by actors from the American Repertory Theatre of London. The event will be lively and engaging, with creative interpretation of the short stories by the actors and distribution of awards to the authors.
